Ok this guy didn’t give the right commands. Much less the UNDERSCORE instead of hyphen on the wallpaper_daemon.py.

the correct command is ./wallpaper_daemon.py –install

Might I suggest the author re-read his post and make the appropriate changes??

I get the same problem as arjun. It also does not ask for a password when executing the command ~/wallpaper_daemon.py

It simply reports that the daemon is started. I get the permission denied as soon as I open the background settings and when I select an image

Doesn’t work for me.

gallows@gallows-linux:~$ ~/wallpaper_daemon.py
